Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion (EMHC)

Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion assist the celebrant in the distribution of Holy Communion during Masses. An extension of this ministry is Extraordinary Minister to the Sick. They take Communion to those who are sick, those residing in nursing homes and those confined to their homes.

In order to be an EMHC, you must be at least 18 years old and have received the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation) and if married, married validly.
